I handle any and all <<pitch raises>> the same way. Any overpull is limited to tuning the piano to 442, and in all cases I leave it at 440. Any piano that is 100 cents, or some such gargantuan amount, away gets an hour and a half session which will leave it stable at pitch, and a flyer stating the need for a second tuning within a couple months for the best long term results. I personally do not find pianos can be "finely" (by any definition of "fine" that I understand) tuned simultaneously with such draconian pitch raises and make no pretentions about being able to provide such a result. Dons recent posting on the matter should make that pretty clear to most anyone. Don measures these kinds of things like no one I know....and its hard to argue with those kinds of numbers. Since I charge for hour and a half visits to begin with, they get no extra charge per se... only a note saying it will need more work in the near future and should be in general taken better care of in the long term.
